$10 million dorm at College of St. Mary benefits single mothers

[_Abyssinia]

Nora McGill wants her daughter to eat another chicken finger, the only entree the College of St. Mary cafeteria is serving that appeals to the picky eater.

But on this particular night, 4-year-old Marie has ants in her pants. She jumps on her chair. She stuffs french fries into her mouth and throws her arms wide while singing a song from “Frozen.”

She tries to distract her mom with the news that she can see her day care, the building across campus where Nora just picked her up minutes before. But eventually Marie gives in, because she knows the chicken might stand between her and the self-serve ice cream machine — and the play time waiting for her with her friends in Madonna Hall.
